Instead of listening to a salesperson regarding RV's, I'd rather pay attention to a finance company; when you lease a car the cost of any option which does not add any money to a cars RV will be calculated as: cost/term.

So, as rough rule of thumb, £30/month per £1,000 of options on a 3 year lease.

On many cars where options like leather and nav are almost expected (so not on a Kia) those options will cost substantially less than that, meaning the costs are partially recoverable for the finance company through an enhanced RV.
